2007

Antinori Tignanello 2007 (750ML)

95 VM / 95 WA Antinori's 2007 Tignanello is wonderfully ripe and seductive in its dark cherries, flowers, spices, tobacco, sage, cedar, mint and minerals. This is as opulent a Tignanello as I have ever tasted but there is...

Banfi Poggio Alle Mura 2007 (750ML)

96 JS Aromas of ripe plums and berries and hints of tar. Full body, with velvety tannins and a lovely texture. Fruit and coffee character on the palate. Structured. Classy and powerful. Needs two or three years to soften...

Chapoutier Le Meal Ermitage 2007 (750ML)

18++ JR / 94 WA Savoury, much tighter and denser than the Greffieux (which surely has a sandy element to it?) – this is more recognisably classic Hermitage. Like licking a stone on the finish and bone dry. Very long...

Chateau Carignan 2007 (750ML)

Climens 2007 (750ML)

99+ WA Tasted twice at UGC tastings, it was actually under blind conditions that the Climens 2007 re-confirmed its status as the best Sauternes of the vintage. It retains an ethereal bouquet of honey, white peach, apricot...

D'Yquem 2007 (3.0L)

98 WA / 96 WS Tasted single blind against its peers. Under blind conditions, the Yquem 2007 shines like a diamond. Nevertheless, it is initially rather taciturn on the nose, eventually opening up beautifully with touches of...

D'Yquem 2007 (6.0L)

98 WA / 96 WS Tasted single blind against its peers. Under blind conditions, the Yquem 2007 shines like a diamond. Nevertheless, it is initially rather taciturn on the nose, eventually opening up beautifully with touches of...

Dom Ruinart Blanc De Blancs 2007 (750ML)

97+ AG / 95+ WA / 94 WS/ 94 JS / 94 DE The 2007 Dom Ruinart is the first vintage made entirely by Chef de Caves Frédéric Panaïotis, which shows just how long the production cycle is in Champagne. A...

Domenico Clerico Barolo Pajana 2007 (750ML)

97 JS / 96 WA This is amazing on the nose with roses, plums, raspberries and currants. Full bodied, with beautiful balance and finesse and depth. What gorgeous fruit and texture. Best in two or three years still. James...

La Mission Haut Brion 2007 (750ML)

95 WA Tasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 La Mission Haut Brion should be considered as one of the wines of the vintage, perhaps even outclassing the gaff across the road! It has an ebullient...

Lafleur 2007 (750ML)

Philipponnat Clos des Goisses Juste Rose 2007 (750ML)

98 WA / 18 JR Based on the regular Clos des Goisses but blended with a certain percentage of red Pinot Noir from the same vineyard, the 2007 Clos des Goisses Just Rosé Brut has a lovely apricot color and shows a...

Rieussec 2007 (750ML)

19 JR / 93 WA / 93-96 WS / 90-93 VM Sweet, vaguely sticky nose. Certainly impressive for the sugar level! And there’s an attractive savoury undertow that stops it being sickly. Lots there. Reverberates. Long. Very...

Taittinger Comtes De Champagne 2007 (750ML)

98 JS / 97 WE / 96 VM / 95 WA / 18.5 JR This is a step up from the linear and fresh 2006. It shows subtle depth and power with a dense block of vivid fruit that's highlighted with lemon zest, green apples and hints of white...

Taittinger Comtes De Champagne Rose 2007 (750ML)

99 JS / 97 VM / 96 WA / 96 WS The light rust and amber color is enticing. Aromas of dried rose petals, cinnamon and nutmeg. Hints of dried meat, smoke and sage. Full body and compact, creamy texture. So fine and...
